The last hour of Yakuza Kiwami 2 is one of the most unbelievable things I've ever seen, in every sense of that word. It is a beyond over-the-top finish to a game that frankly earns it.

The frustration I've had with combat in other Yakuza games is mostly gone here under the smoother, more fluid new engine, though some of the fun has been lost in that process as well. The game looks great, the side content has more depth than it has any right to, and the story takes some truly wild turns. As a complete package Kiwami 2 totally delivers.
